FUNDING SOURCE: Funds are available In the FY12 Budget account 100- 44540 - 415 -5; Professional Services in an amount of $50,000. BACKGROUND: Grapevine has participated with Fort Worth in providing a Household Hazardous Waste (HHW) collection facility and program for the past several years. The City of Fort Worth Environmental Collection Center (ECC) accepts HHW from citizens of participating cities directly, provides for local collection events, and provides logistical support for the sound disposal of hazardous waste. The cost charged by the ECC for each household that utilized the service was $47/household for Fiscal Year 2011 and will remain $47/household for Fiscal Year 2012. In Grapevine, 716 households have participated in the program so far through three quarters in FY 2011 at a disposal cost of $33,652. The City of Grapevine committed sufficient resources to host a local collection event on March 26, 2011 with 524 households participating during the event, and 441 dropping off HHW for disposal. Adequate funds have been earmarked for FY 2012 to provide for 851 households. The HHW program provides our citizens with an environmentally sound method of disposal. Without this alternative, hazardous waste could be illegally disposed of in the solid waste collection system, stormwater drainage system, or the wastewater collection and treatment system. The United States and the State of Texas have promulgated rules that require cities to manage pollution in stormwater runoff; and the HHW Program is utilized as a component of the comprehensive Storm Water Quality Management Program. Staff recommends approval of the Interlocal Agreement that will continue Grapevine's participation in Fort Worth's Environmental Collection Center and Household Hazardous Waste Program. 2011 -09 -06 Agenda Memo HHWFY12agm INTERLOCAL AGREEMENT FOR PARTICIPATION IN FORT WORTH'S ENVIRONMENTAL COLLECTION CENTER HOUSEHOLD HAZARDOUS WASTE PROGRAM FY2012 INTERLOCAL AGREEMENT FOR PARTICIPATION IN FORT WORTH'S ENVIRONMENTAL COLLECTION CENTER HOUSEHOLD HAZARDOUS WASTE PROGRAM THIS AGREEMENT is entered into by and between the City of Fort Worth, Texas, a home -rule municipal corporation situated in Tarrant, Denton, Parker, and Wise Counties, Texas, hereinafter called "Fort Worth," acting by and through Fernando Costa, its duly authorized Assistant City Manager and the City of Grapevine , hereinafter referred to as "Participating City" and located in Tarrant County, Texas acting herein by and through Bruno Rumbelow its duly authorized City Manager (Name) (Title) DELIVERY OF NOTICES Any notices required to be given under this Agreement shall be delivered as follows: If to Fort Worth: Michael A.
